Hiya guys, ever so often I look around and ask about tv-cards.
I want a card that does it all and that does it good. But i find everytime I kind of decide, I see a bad review or told about a better card....
I run on a windows 64bit system and have no tv and not much space, so thought about adding a tv-card.

So, the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-500 Media Centre Edition Dual TV Tuner, sold here is only for media center pc's? If not is it a good card?

Would Leadtek WinFast PVR2000-MPEG2 TV/Decoder, do me better and cheaper?

Or is Terratec Cinergy 2400i DT DVB-T TV Tuner the way to go?

Or should I look into other brands of cards. Is there one absolutely horrific card series that OcUK just hasn't gotton in store yet that you would absolutely recommend me getting?

Another question, would cabling coming with the cards be a standard? Or does UK have different types of cables for tv signals? (What i mean is the cable running from the inhouse tv-antenna-socket in the wall to the tv-card. Do we have the same all over Europe. I live in DK)

Otherwise... Have a good day all ;)
